Elijah was suited up and ready as Zander and Jasper walked in with Sawyer for the last meeting. He wondered, trying to shake his fears, how it was for them, waking up. When it had been him, Quinn, and Sawyer, it had felt like a normal day. It had been easy to fall into the three of them waking up together, since they were so comfortable with the idea. He was glad she enjoyed it; that had worried him for a small moment.

But Zander and Jasper? Zander was down for anything, but pulling Jasper into those sorts of things…Jasper wasn’t known for being the adventurous one of the team, that was certain.

They were slightly uncomfortable. He could see it a few steps into the room. Jasper shuffled around, working, not looking at Zander. Sawyer was looking down, turning her mask over in her hands, thoughtful. Zander seemed to look guilty.

He would need to talk to all three of them if this was going to linger, if they didn’t work through what they had done together. Elijah wasn’t sure if he should make light of it or ignore it for the time being. It was Quinn who made the decision, actually.

“It’s good, to do things that strengthen the bonds between a pack,” he mentioned lightly. “Are you feeling better?” he asked Sawyer specifically.

“How do you feel about it?” she asked back.

“They aren’t leaving the pack. If you had talked to me, I would have told you the truth of the matter.”

“You didn’t know yet,” she reminded him. Elijah resisted a chuckle. He knew what Quinn was about to say.

“You could have come to me, instead of being angry with them.”

“And what would you have said?”

“They won’t leave the pack, since I wouldn’t let them. They know that too, which is probably why they didn’t tell me earlier.”

She began to chuckle. Zander did as well. Jasper groaned, holding his face as he sat down on the edge of one of the beds.

“He’s right,” Zander mumbled. “We knew he would just shrug and dare us to try to truly leave. Quinn is possessive like that.”

“Oh, I know.” Sawyer was smiling now.

“How are you, Jasper?” Elijah asked softly.

“I’ll talk about it later. I just need to stay focused on this right now.” Jasper smiled wearily up to him, both tired and apprehensive. Elijah nodded. “Where’s Vincent?”

“On the phone with the other team running tonight. They’re in Spain, and we’re going at the same time.”

“Good to know they’re in position. The timeline of this is the worst.”

“Happy New Year’s Eve, everyone,” Sawyer announced, ignoring the work conversation. “Are we ready to kick off the new year?”

“Oh shit, that is right now.” Zander huffed. “We’ll finish the raid and have a drink together. Happy New Year, everyone!”

“Woo!” Elijah played excited. Just another new year and the IMPO. He wasn’t sure he was really looking forward to it.

“They’re ready,” Vincent said immediately as he walked in. “Put the holiday talk away, we’re working. Once this is over…” He trailed off, shaking his head.
